Golden Gate View

by brae Email

Even though I recently acquired a Glencroft kit to follow the Heritage build, I recently stumbled across an old (albeit new in the box) kit no longer made: Golden Gate View by American Craft Products.  I could not pass it up for its unusual design, its relatively compact size and the price.  :D

I'm thinking a Brownstone with a two-story efficiency apartment, though I am not sure if it will be contemporary or vintage or some mix of the two.

Fantastic! It has so much style AND is compact. That's my ideal project! :-)

I love the potential of this AND especially that it has such a compact footprint.
Oh, please do this one next! Please do this one next!

A beautiful kit! For some reason 1920's came to my mind when I saw it. Looking forward to your realization of this kit.
Love

Wow, what a wonderful house, congratulations. I like it the way it`s on the box, with that ligt blue color and everything, but I`m pretty sure you will make changes :), and then be even more fantastic.

I might need a smaller project once the Heritage is complete, so this might jump ahead of the Glencroft. :D I've already found a few great pics for the Brownstone. :yes:

American Craft Products had the best kits on the market at the time and still solid with good design and nice size. That will be an interesting build. Good luck with this. I have held on to several of their half scale kits do do in my next life!
